RESERVA MARINA

Cabo Blanco's story is closely linked to the development of sport fishing in the South Pacific. It was not common in any other part of the world, the number of events and facts such as those that have occurred here in close connection with the emergence of sport fishing worldwide. Therefore, in the fifties and early sixties, Cabo Blanco was recognized as the best sports fishing area in the world.

The conditions that brought it fame and notoriety half a century ago, still remain unchanged, as the fabulous existing fishing in Cabo Blanco is the result of the confluence of two major currents that happens off its shores. Emerging from the south, the cold Humboldt Current, a body of water 150 miles wide, flows northwest meeting the Equatorial Current or El Niño Current, coming from the north and has previously been linked to the North-Equatorial Current.

The waters of Cabo Blanco are the only ones in the world who have a fishing season of 12 months. The Black Marlin, Swordfish and Big Eye Tuna have been caught in every month of the year, but is in the months of December to March when these species are more numerous, except the tuna which has two runs per year: February to March and August to September. The Striped Marlin and the Pacific Sailfish are more numerous from October to May.
